Summary

Internet consultation is a mode of consultation in which citizens and organisations are offered an opportunity to contribute to the legislative process by providing suggestions for improvement of laws and rules whilst under construction. Internet consultation after a pilot phase was made a structural part of the process of legislation in the year 2011.
Now, after a few years of experience with Internet consultation the Ministry of justice and safety wished to gain insight in how it operates, and how it is appreciated by all actors involved and concerned. Furthermore, the ministry wished to find out to what extent Internet consultation actually contributes to the goals of its application.
